This current display at Hayden Library highlights anthologies of African American poetry curated by Professor Joshua Bennett! “The collection invites the reader to think about archiving as a cultural practice, how art, like poetry, is preserved for future generations (as well as the people who make that work possible: poets, editors, publishers, libraries, and archivists). We hope you find something here to inspire you.” Stop by, take a book or dive into the curatoral history of this collection!
